Exchange in Ghent - Mitko Karakolev

Check out one of the current 3rd years' blog about some of his work and experiences in Ghent as an exchange student! It's great! Mitko decided to spend a semester in Ghent, after having been in Belgium earlier on as part of a collaborative project between UCA illustration and a number of european institutions. It's always really interesting for students to share their experiences!

Visiting Lecturer - Harriet Russell

The new term has just started and the course already enjoyed the first visiting lecturer, the excellent Harriet Russell! Harriet's talk covered important areas such as diverse illustration outlets and professional practice with clients, but also more personal quirky details such as origins of ideas and influences.

Year 3 Illustration Show 2014

Well done to all 3rd year students for a very successful show at Free Range this year. Some real highlights in the books section with a range of whimsical, humorous, contemplative and poetic narratives. There's been 3d work, as well as illustrated textiles, animation, reportage and some really fun illustrated products. A great end to a very rewarding year!
